Mapping sin... seriously

This should come under the category "Some people have way too much time on their hands" but is intriguing, none the less.

A team of bored geeks statisticians at Kansas State University has just mapped the 7 Deadly Sins in the US plotting per-capita stats on things like theft (envy), number of takeaways (gluttony) and STDs (lust).

Interesting to note that the most "religious" areas of the US are also the most "sinful"


I would love to see a similar map done of Australia. Actually, one of the whole world would be kinda fun, too.

The one shown here is for Pride (the root of all sin according to the survey), which is a conglomerate of all the other maps.

The rest of the maps are here.
